It is with great sadness and sorrow, I share the passing of my beloved brother, Stephen J. Gamble, of Powell River, BC on August 8, 2025. He had just turned 71 in July and leaves behind his sister, Lois of Mission, BC and many, many friends from the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver area. He is predeceased by his parents, Alvan and Jean Gamble and his brother Timothy C. Gamble of Ottawa, Ontario.
Stephen grew up in Unionville, Ontario and graduated from Ridley College, where he played on the school’s hockey, cricket, gymnastics and rowing teams. He then moved to the West Coast, to attend Trinity Western College and UBC and met his best friends, Dave and Scotty (SAGA). He worked for BC Transit at Oakridge, North Vancouver & the Sunshine Coast Depots. He moved to the Sunshine Coast in the early 90’s lived in Roberts Creek and Sechelt and recently retired to Powell River. The outdoors, gardening and fishing were his favourite pastimes. From his first boat, Mr. Bim, to his charter business to the boat now sitting in his driveway - he loved the ocean. He was always working on various projects, but things would always pause for his beloved BC Lions' games. His gregarious nature and his generosity meant he affected many people and aside from his many human friends, he always had 2 or 3 cats to love and spoil as well.
An informal Celebration of Steve’s Life, will likely take place in the Fall.
